Abstract

The contributions of this paper are in two main areas. The first is an integrated approach to the design of practical adaptive control algorithms. In particular, we bring many existing ideas together and explore the effect of various design parameters available to a user. Secondly, we extend the theory by showing how the problem of stabilizability of the estimated model can be overcome by running parallel estimators. We also show how asymptotic tracking of deterministic set points can be achieved in the presence of unmodeled dynamics.
